We can’t describe what it is like to work with us. The authors can. Here are the ones we keep coming back to.
The first watch
It is hard to forget what an author says the first time they see their own book back as a film.
“This was a magical experience. They brought my book to life with the most beautiful book trailer, with actors that embodied my characters brilliantly. I was impressed by how professional the final result looked and sounded, and how timely they got it back to me. 10 stars if I could.” Tessa Hatfield, author of Say it Again
“Working with Film 14 was highly rewarding. They brought my book to life. Creative, responsive, and efficient. Highly recommend.” Joseph Baskin, author of Burning River
“Film 14 is awesome to work with. The end result was exactly what I was looking for.” Mandi Lynn, author of I Am Mercy

The thing that’s hardest to put into words, that we still caught
The reviews we are proudest of are the ones where the author tells us we got a feeling on screen that they themselves struggled to name in their book.
“The team at Film 14 did phenomenal work on the book trailer for my new memoir. They understood the moods and nuances of my book and transferred these to the film. They’re a professional and hard-working bunch.” Anthony Swofford, author of Hotels, Hospitals, and Jails
“Working with Film 14 was such a positive experience. They took the time to understand my story and their attention to detail made the story come alive. They’re a great company for any author to work with, whether you’re writing contemporary or high fantasy.” Jennifer L. Armentrout, author of A Soul of Ash and Blood
The way it actually felt to work together
Communication is the word that comes up most often. We are around. Authors hear back when they need to.
“I so enjoyed working with Film 14. They were prompt, professional, polite and very communicative. They were flexible and willing to make multiple adjustments to get my trailer just right. Highly recommended.” Kara Swanson, author of Inferno
The asset that does not stop working
The biggest surprise for most authors does not happen during production. It happens months later.
“Their trailers are often the first glimpse my readers get of my story. I add them to my web sites, Amazon page, and use them in my emails and Facebook ads. They get readers excited and get results. As an author, it’s really fun to work on, to see real actors and directors creating part of the narrative I worked on for so long.” A.G. Riddle, author of The Atlantis Gene
“Adam was very communicative throughout the whole process. He demonstrated extreme patience as I ironed out a few speed bumps on my end, and then was quite receptive to changes I requested to my book teaser. I would love to work with Film 14 again on future projects.” Alesa Canton
“Film 14 did my book trailer and my author trailer for my website and both were amazing. Professionally done, easy communication, and a product I can use over and over again. Highly recommend.” Jennifer Probst, author of A Wedding in Lake Como
“Film 14 is an outstanding producer of trailers, with talent that extends even into film-level production. They’ve produced four trailers for my books, all of which have been valuable assets for both media coverage and social media promotion.” Ed Fuller and Gary Grossman, authors of the Red Hotel Series
From writers who know what craft looks like
The reviews that mean the most to us are the ones from other writers. Writers who have spent a lifetime sweating sentences notice when a trailer treats every frame the same way.
“Cushman and the crew are true cinema artists, treating each frame of their work as any writer worth his weight would treat a sentence: with care and precision.” Joshua Kornreich, author of The Boy Who Killed Caterpillars
“It’s arresting, beautiful, and of the highest quality. The trailers are short movies in their own right.” Stefan Kiesbye, author of Your House Is on Fire, Your Children All Gone
“Film 14 make the best trailers I’ve ever seen.” Peter Straub, author of Ghost Story
Once you trailer with us…
“I’ve worked with Film 14 on three trailers, and each time they’ve been professional, punctual, and knocked it out of the park.” William Hincy, author of Without Expiration
“Film 14 is something of an author’s dream: professional, creative filmmakers who know and love books.” Jeff Parker, author of Ovenman
“Definitely one of the most professional companies for creating book trailers. I was thrilled with the great results and feedback I received for Severed Threads, Buried Threads and Banished Threads.” Kaylin McFarren, author of the Threads Series
“It was awesome working with Film 14. Efficient and professional service. I loved the final product and look forward to working with them again on future trailers.” D.M. Mortier, author of Lethal Legacy
We are obsessed with story. If you would like to talk about your book, start here. If you just want to see the work, the trailer portfolio is a better tour than anything we could write.
